I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 231 Are we still retreating eight hundred miles?
Jingjing County.

After this small city named "high on all sides and down on the center" was captured, most of the people were killed when the Huns robbed their property, and those who did not escape were reduced to slaves.

In the noisy streets and markets of the past, there are only barking wild dogs and sparrows flapping their wings, and only mottled bloodstains tell the story of the past prosperity.

The culprit who caused all this is stationed in the hills southeast of the county seat.

Their large tent stretches for several miles, which is very majestic.

In the golden tent in the center of the Xiongnu garrison.

Seeing the dignified faces of King Zuoguli and King Youxian who had finished the report, Mao Dun did not show any worry.

He was playing with a piece of emerald green, with traces of black jade in it, and said slowly: "Is the situation true?"

King Zuoguli nodded honestly, stretched his finger to the sky and said: "The supreme king of Great Xia who is surrounded by the sun and the moon and blessed by Haotian, I swear on my life and all the cattle and sheep of the tribe, if there are lies in what I just said , then let the thunder from the nine heavens kill me, and the fire on the grassland scorch the cattle and sheep."

There is no direct evidence for what was reported just now.

It's just that he has just taken control of the tribe, if something goes wrong and he doesn't solve it in time, it will cause a catastrophe, and I'm afraid that his lack of prestige in the tribe will be completely lost.

That's why I made the heaviest oath on the grassland in front of Mao Dun, using my own life and the tribe's cattle and sheep as guarantees.

"It's really a treasure." Mao Dun put down the jade in his hand, and moved his gaze to King You Xian, "What about you? What do you think?"

"Honorable Chanyu, the Zuo Dadang household department under my tent, and the Zuo Daduwei department under the tent of King Youguli have lost contact for nearly ten years. However, it may be that they went too deep to convey the news. It's not that smooth." King Youxian didn't dare to speak out directly, but just stated the situation and let Shanyu make his own judgment.

"According to this calculation, um, there are 2 people." Mao Dun picked up Yujue and tapped on the copy, as if he was talking to himself, or talking to the two people in front of him.

Ye was puzzled and said: "The Zuo Da Du Wei Department under my account only commanded 4000 people, and the Zuo Da Dang Household Department under the account of King Youxian only had 7000 people. Your honorable Chanyu, there are only 1 people who have lost contact. "

The most important power among the Huns is military power.

From King Xian down, there are generals on the left and right, captains on the left and right, and big households on the left and right... Various positions are a bit complicated and chaotic. The lowest status to lead the army is the household. When they are fighting, there will be more than ten thousand cavalry , and the few will have thousands of rides.

Therefore, the loss of contact between the captain of their subordinates and the big household is tantamount to saying that two high-ranking Huns had an accident, otherwise King Youxian and King Zuoguli would not have come to report directly to Maodun.

"Hu Yantuo also lost news half a month ago. The location he reported last before he lost contact was not far from these two people." Mao Dun said lightly, his expression calm, "At first I thought it was just an accident, Now it seems that it is not."

"The Marquis of Zuogu also..." Ye was shocked immediately, his eyes were extremely surprised.

The Marquis of Gudu on the left and right were directly subordinate to Shan Yu, and led the elite cavalry of the headquarters. The combat power of those soldiers was even higher than those of the sage king and King Guli.

What's more, if he remembered correctly, Hu Yantuo, Shan Yu's confidant, probably brought nearly ten thousand cavalry with him this time.

The Youxian King on the side said in disbelief: "This is impossible. How could the Han army wipe out all the troops of Huyan Guduhou?
Nearly [-] cavalry have no one to break through, so no news can come back?
Ridiculous, too ridiculous, I would rather believe that cows can fly and sheep eat meat. "

"King Youxian makes sense." Even Wei also began to wonder if he was thinking too much. After all, it is really unlikely that there is a problem with the Huyan Tuo Department.

Mao Dun shook his head and called for a large map.

After entering Handi, whenever he captured a city, he would send people to search for maps.

However, in this era, maps are not a ubiquitous item. Most counties only have maps of their own county. As for maps of the whole world, they are only in the hands of a few people in Chang'an City.

Therefore, the map in Maodun's hands is made up of several maps with similar scales, and there are many blank areas on it.

"Look here." Mo Dun pointed to Taiyuan, "I guess Hu Yan and your two subordinates disappeared halfway when they were walking in this direction."

Following the direction of Mao Dun's finger, Ye was shocked and said, "What is this place?"

King Youxian has more knowledge. He rubbed his chin and said, "This is the capital of South Korea. I heard those Han captives mentioned that this is not a powerful country. almost.

Could it be that Shanyu you mean that they did it?

Allow me to ask this question. "

"It's not South Korea." Mao Dun shook his head, looked at the puzzled eyes of Li and Youxian Wang, and changed the subject, "It's the main force of the big man who has come."

As soon as these words came out, King You Xian stopped breathing for an instant.

The Xiongnu were killed by General Li Mu of the State of Zhao for more than 20 people, and it took nearly 30 years to recover. In addition, in the Qin Dynasty, Meng Tian led [-] Qin troops to guard the border. They dared not go south to herd horses.

The fear brought about by previous experiences is engraved in the bones of many old Huns.

But now the soldiers in their invasion of the Han army are all young and energetic, without any fear, and they have never met the real elite of the Han army along the way.

But Shan Yu's words evoked the memories of King Youxian's childhood, those bloody stories that the adults told sadly, and his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The younger Li didn't have such an impression. He only remembered the prosperity of the Huns under the leadership of Mao Dun.

So he was gearing up and said: "Respected Shan Yu, if we can defeat this elite Han army, then we can plunder more land.

Let me be at your command, to bring you victory, and to avenge the Great Captain Zuo under my account.

After the victory in this battle, the territory of your rule will expand again. When we return to the grassland, we can go to Langjuxu Mountain to worship the heaven and the earth, and tell the sun and the moon about your greatness! "

Perhaps it was because of his self-confidence, the affected King Youxian's expression gradually relaxed, replaced by the hatred inherited from his elders.

The current big summer is not the old big summer!

We have 30 soldiers, nearly 50 slaves, countless horses, cattle and sheep, and an incomparably brave and brave commander like Mo Dun.

Do you still need to be afraid of this Han country?

Do we still have to take the initiative to retreat for eight hundred miles like our ancestors, and dare not even go to the most plentiful grassland?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
